FAMILY, friends, dignitaries and churchgoers said their final goodbyes to Dr Myles Munroe and his wife Ruth during a celebratory service at Bahamas Faith Ministries International yesterday.

Thousands of people, including some from around the world, packed BFMI’s Diplomat Centre on Carmichael Road for the nearly seven-hour state-recognised funeral.

It was a culmination of three weeks’ mourning in the country after Dr Munroe’s Learjet crashed into the Grand Bahama Shipyard on November 9, taking the lives of all nine on board.

Dr Munroe, 60, founded BMFI and was senior pastor at the time of his death.
